iTunes 12.4 Has Apple Music Playback Bug Related to Tracks Shorter Than 60 Seconds

[mr.datsun]

Isn't the continued unusability of iTunes 12 a bit more of a serious issue?

It is, indeed. However, this bug affects usability (granted, apple music alone), so...

Mostly classical music (particularly operas and ballets interludes, not so much symphonies), and film scores, at least in my case.

I agree. My library is mainly classical and this bug strikes at least twice a day.

This is why Apple Music needs a web player instead of iTunes only. Also partly unrelated if you hope that if you use a Chromebook and want to use the Apple Music app you guessed it is not compatible so you are stuck with a Mac or Windows machine running that bloated buggy iTunes.

Looks like the issue should be fixed in iTunes 12.4.2 that was just released: https://www.macrumors.com/2016/07/18/apple-releases-itunes-12-4-2-with-playback-fix/

I have this problem on iOS (9.3.3 beta 3) whilst listening to Monty Python's various albums, but it skips tracks too. I was wondering why I had to keep telling Siri to move to the next track.

When the Monty Python album "Matching Tie and Handkerchief" came out it had 3 sides! on the B side they had two parallel tracks so you would play the B side and randomly it would play different sketches.

May be it related????

I don't like what iTunes has become either (versions after 8), but is it really a good idea to get a laptop that can mostly only run HTML/Javascript content in the first place?

@sudo1996 you could try my just released FREE HQ player https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/phonix-music-player-for-macos.1985426/

Not making money with it,so no sweat. It's based on Cog. But now has a High Quality audio engine and more features. Took a lot of time. I developed it for my own needs but sharing it

It´s seems that the bug it´s back with a vengeance on latest iTunes version. Anyone else can confirm this, please?
